Some of you are spending more time trying to win over a woman who doesn’t like you than actually building a life you love.

You analyse her behaviour. Obsess over what she thinks. Rehearse conversations she’ll never hear. And keep bending yourself into someone you think might finally be accepted.

For what?

You are literally abandoning yourself in pursuit of someone else’s approval.

And the hardest truth? She doesn’t even have to be thinking about you for you to be giving her this much power.

At some point, you’ve got to stop asking why she doesn’t like you and start asking why her opinion of you matters more than your own.

You don’t need her approval to belong in your own fucking life.

Stop trying to be chosen by someone you don’t even need to choose you.

I’m over it. They’re hate is they’re family dysfunction!! It’s always been there always will be. No contact brings peace.

She will NEVER like you! Only a very small minority would and they are the ones that are not bitter and over the relationship! Don’t ever be fooled!
